Thomas F. (hardtack) - , reviewed on 3/5/2015 + 2564 more book reviews

Dahl is a wonderful children/young adult author who has a great imagination. But you probably don't want to know what he was like in real life.

I just finished "The Irregulars," a book about Dahl's time in Washington, D.C. during World War II. Even the author of that book called him an "arrogant bastard." Then there were all his affairs with married women, some even married to his friends. However, I'm glad I read that book, as clues to his name appeared in several crossword puzzles I've recently done.

The best part of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" was the long song about children, books and TV, sung by the Oompa-Loompas.
